 * ... that Cynuria, an ancient region of the Peloponnesus, was repeatedly contested between Sparta and Argos, and switched hands numerous times in antiquity?


 * Symbol question.svg Needs more citations. I can't tell if the "they were definitely Pelasgians/Ionians" is your opinion or that of sources (Smith?), for example. More secondary sources would be nice. Also, "changed hands" is the idiom. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 07:59, 18 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article is taken verbatim from William Smith's 19th-century Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, even to the extent that the reference citations are the abbreviated citations used in that document (e.g., "Herod. viii. 73" refers to a passage in a work by Herodotus) and have not been reformatted to identify what sources were being cited by William Smith. Yes, that's a public domain source, but additional revision is needed to make this into a proper Wikipedia article. --Orlady (talk) 16:35, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
